Thomas Cherryhomes#FujiNet #RS232 #MSDOS users: FUJIPRN.SYS has had its INT 17H support fixed (now returns proper status byte). So Print Shop works, as expected.
Here it is, printing a sign on my #PCjr
(ノಠ益ಠ)ノ彡 ᖇETᖇO ᖇOᗩᗪKIᒪᒪ (ʘ言ʘ╬)well there's the motherboard, WD90C24A and a bunch of RAM on the backside, sound card and connectors are on another board
this thing has many layers, still a button cell in there to get to, power supply board not lookin' obviously bad
moar later i gotta get ready for Ground Zero tonight 💃
welp lets dismantle it and get to any battery bombs lurking in there
there's one right there in the hinge, doesn't seem to have leaked
there it is, the 486DX4 and the chip (not a set unless you count the SuperIO)
also snagged a Toshiba T4800CT
a pretty badass 486DX4/75 system with local bus video and WSS audio??
no soundblaster or FM chip so not an ideal DOS gaming system but i've seen few 486 laptops with audio at all
i really want to get this running
it just flashes a P41 error which is a main 12v bus undervolt
looks like its gonna be another power supply repair 🫡
indeed the battery, (a local replacement from 1992?) initially looked clean but its corroded ALL THE WAY UP THE WIRES and is starting to eat the board
cleaned it up best i could without stripping the board, you can run it off 5v on the battery connector if the DC/DC isn't shot but it is very much not functional right now
Minnesota Retro Tech Club Free Table Gets:
i've been wanting a smol 8088 system for testing software compatibility and performance on and this Toshiba T1000 is cool as hell
but they're all notorious basket cases by now and need recapping and repair
it has the EMS CARD!

CyningstanThe Shortbow is a compact bow for causing moderate damage to enemies at a distance. Arrows must be held in the offhand, unless a quiver is equipped, in which case arrows can be carried anywhere in the inventory. The Shortbow needs Archery:3 skill to use effectively.

Maximum LobdeggSo the DOS VGA+Adlib Game Jam has only just opened and we've already got a submission! lol It's a Tetris clone with some neat music, sound effects, and interesting specials! Keyboard input could use a little tlc, but it's still more than playable!

vilmibmI am yet but a babby in the realm of software preservation but here is my first real contribution: The World of Tarot, some DOS tarot card software made in 1992 in a suburb of Chicago.
I found this at a Vintage Computer Fest Midwest event and now it's up on the archive and runnable in browser!
